NOT TO DESTROY ANY BOOKS FROM LIBRARY

Those persons who are quarantined with scarlet fever and who have in their possession any books from the public library must not destroy the books, according to a statement issued by the Library authorities today.

Instead, they are urged to communicate with the librarian and make arrangements as to the disposition of the books. There are a number of books which were taken from the library by persons who were later quarantined because of the fever.

Of course, to return the books would be a dire violation of the law and because of that it wag generally understood that the books should be destroyed.

Destruction may be the order after all but for the present the thing to do is keep the books in the quarantined home. 

Running a fever.

It weighed one and a quarter pounds and was big enough to furnish a meal for an entire family.

Lewis said he has been hunting mushrooms for forty years but this one was by far the largest of any he had eve seen.

It will be on display in the window of a bank downtown for several days before being turned over to the university.

Yummy.
